ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. Everything else question. I have a flat roof kitchen extension.  Whenever it rains hard coupled with the wind it starts to leak a little from the roof.  I've tried explaining to local tradesmen about rubber flat roof covering we use in Europe . Is it called EPDM? Anyway when mentioned they all just look bemused. So is it called something else in Thailand? Is it available from homepro ect? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about a flat roof kitchen extension that leaks during heavy rain and wind. They mention the use of EPDM roofing in Europe and seek clarification on its name in Thailand, as local tradesmen seem unfamiliar with it. Comments suggest joining a building group for advice, mention alternative products available on Lazada, and humorously comment on local attitudes towards roofing issues.

I informed my landlord about my leaky roof, she said said 'don't worry. When the rain stops, the roof will stop leaking.

Welcome to the tropics and builders that don’t know about rain and how to deal with it. Join the group mentioned above. So many people in your same boat (“literally”).
